Burt by Noisebud: Bass Synthesizer with Character
In the world of music creation, the bassline is the foundation that sets the rhythm, groove, and overall mood of a composition. Often, achieving a unique sound requires an instrument that not only reproduces low frequencies but also adds a special character, texture, and even aggression to them. It is precisely for such tasks that the Burt plugin by Noisebud was created – an extraordinary bass synthesizer designed to bring “dirt” and “character” to your tracks.
Forget about sterile, perfectly clean basses. Burt is an instrument for those who seek a raw, powerful sound, capable of cutting through the mix and leaving a lasting impression. Its sound engine is designed with an emphasis on transforming the signal through processes that give the sound graininess, richness, and unpredictability.
Sound Philosophy: Dirt and Character
At the heart of Burt is its unique approach to generating and shaping bass sounds. It does not rely on standard synthesis methods but uses a combination of waveshaping, distortion, bit crush, and resonance to create timbres that go beyond the ordinary. This synergy of effects allows you to get basslines that can be both aggressively industrial and warmly tube-like with a characteristic “crunch.”
- Waveshaping: Shapes the waveform, adding harmonics and changing its initial shape, which is the basis for further transformations.
- Distortion: Saturates the sound, adding harmonics and compressing the dynamic range, making the bass denser and more powerful.
- Bit Crush: Reduces bit depth and sample rate, introducing characteristic digital artifacts that sound like “crunch” or “sand,” adding a unique texture.
- Resonance: Accentuates specific frequencies, which can make the bass more expressive or even bring it into a state of self-oscillation to create experimental sounds.
The combination of these elements makes it possible to obtain a wide range of bass timbres – from deep, rich sub-basses with slight graininess to sharp, completely distorted lines reminiscent of the sounds of industrial machines or aggressive synthesizers of the 90s.
